On February 12, 2025, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLBank”) filed a Form 8-K reporting that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) had informed FHLBank of its non-objection to FHLBank’s 2025 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“EICP”) Targets, Metric Weights, Goal Metrics, and Metric Performance Ranges (the “Target Document”).

On March 28, 2025, FHLBank’s Board of Directors amended the 2025 Target Document. The revised 2025 Target Document removed the Goal Objective related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, and increased the weight assigned to the Financial Performance and Risk Management goals, increasing each from 30 percent to 35 percent. On April 18, 2025, the FHFA informed FHLBank of its non-objection to the revised 2025 Target Document.

The Target Document establishes metrics for the Base Performance Period, which are measured by the results achieved by FHLBank in attaining specified performance levels in the following three areas and are weighted as follows:

Goal Objective	Metric	Weight
Housing and Community Development Mission Alignment	• Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund Ratio (10%) • Native American Housing Initiatives (NAHI) Grants Ratio (10%) • Member Participation in Housing and Community Development Programs (10%)	30%
Financial Performance	• Return on Equity Spread (35%)	35%
Risk Management	•Market, Credit, Liquidity (17.5%) •Compliance, Business, Operations (17.5%)	35%
	Total:	100%

Total awards payable under the 2025 Target Document are not determinable at this time.

For additional information about FHLBank’s EICP, see FHLBank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2024.

The foregoing description of the 2025 Target Document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2025 Target Document attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
